The Beaker Phenomenon? by Neil Carlin
An integrated study of the character, context and dating of the social practices forming the Beaker phenomenon in Ireland within their wider northwest European context.
This is an excellent book and is a must for anyone interested in the Beaker phenomenon.. or indeed in Neolithic and Bronze Age Britain and Ireland. It usefully gathers and presents a long-overdue and much needed dataset and this alone should be commended. * Proceedings of the Prehistoric Society *
Dr. Neil Carlin is a Teaching Fellow in the School of Archaeology at University College Dublin. His research concentrates on the Neolithic and Bronze Age of Ireland and Britain in their European contexts, with an emphasis on depositional practices and the social role of material culture. In 2014, he completed a postdoctoral research project on the depositional treatment of Grooved Ware and associated objects in Ireland entitled ‘Understanding the Irish Late Neolithic: Grooved Ware in Context’ which was funded by the Irish Research Council. That study was inspired by the results of his PhD thesis on the Beaker phenomenon, “A proper place for everything: the character and context of Beaker depositional practice in Ireland” which he was awarded in 2012. He has over 10 years’ experience in the archaeological services sector working on the excavation, post-excavation and publication of numerous sites in Ireland.
